In search of desert wildlife.
Our trip was well organized by Allison. All our lodge stays met our expectations. We Kebi Lodge in particular. The dunes and the wild oryx at Sussuvlei were very different. Driving to Swakopmund is tiring , as is the drive to Damaraland. Kayaking with sea lions in Walvis Bay near Swakopmund was a highlight. The game watching around and in Etosha National Park was wonderful. This is not the Serengeti, so you have to work at viewing the animals.
Our 4x4 Jimney ran trouble free the whole journey.
It was a great adventure and I highly recommend Great Explorations to anyone going to Namibia.

Efficient, vastly knowledgeable and very friendly and easy to deal with, a pleasure!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Great Explorations Namibia, particularly Allison. We have never been to Namibia so needed loads of guidance about where to stay, what routes to take and what to do in each area. I changed my mind many times, sometimes because of cost, sometimes I didn’t want to travel to a certain place. Allison was extremely patient and had many iterations for all my changes. In the end our trip suited the budget and we were given lots of information on each camp, much needed directions on how to get there and options for excursions in each new camp. I hope this will not be our last visit to Namibia. Thank you Allison for tailoring a trip of a lifetime.

Brilliant first trip to Namibia
We have just enjoyed the most wonderful three week trip around Namibia, organised by Lilly. From the outset, Lilly has been enthusiastic and efficient, listening to our requirements and wish-list, and from there putting together a very good itinerary, taking in some excellent small lodges to break the long journeys. We chose to do ‘self-drive’ (all arranged by Lilly, and included in the trip) and this was easy to do, particularly as Peter at Classic Cars provides very good cars and we loved having the fridge in the back for cold drinks. The roads are tarmac or gravel, and generally long and straight. If you stick to the speed limits, you will have no trouble, and Lilly provides a very good map as well as GPS. Both Lilly and Peter were readily available by email or WhatsApp whenever we had a query, and any small problems or questions were resolved immediately.
We would highly recommend Lilly at Great Explorations Namibia, and we hope to return next year to see more of Namibia.
The country is very beautiful, with each couple of days offering varying scenery, the Namibian people are very kind and gentle, and the high standards at the lodges for both comfort and food was remarkable. We enjoyed seeing the desert elephants and black rhino, and were lucky enough to see four desert lion at Entendeka as well as a black maned lion at Hobatere!

Great experience with a self drive camping tour
We did a 16 day self drive camping tour with Great Explorations Namibia. The itinerary was very well put together, and the choosen accomodations/car rental company were great.
Our travel consultant, Allison, was really nice and managed to plan the whole itinerary very quickly, since we booked this last minute.
Highly recommended.

Great Experience!!
As a traveler that is used to plan trips alone, I was skeptical about using a tour operator, but I can say it was worth the investment. Allison was INCREDIBLE and really helped me find the best options for our preferences. We spoke for weeks before the trip, she adapted the itinerary to what we wanted to do and the period we were staying. They helped us in getting a SIM card and in making last minute changes due to a delayed flight. I can’t recommend them enough! thank you for everything, Allison, and Lili.

Excellent Tour Operator for a worry-free experience in Namibia
We chose to contact Great Exploration Namibia after trying to book our trip ourselves, which was challenging as we tried to do this only 3 months ahead of our trip.
Planning & Booking process;
We heard back from Anja very quickly and the initial contact was really welcoming and thoughtful from the start.
We had agreed on an itinerary per day within a short time through quick communication by email, followed by choosing a list of activities to book alongside the accommodations. Anja isn't afraid to push back on some initial ideas that would not be recommended or would be a bit rushed, this is great as I might be a bit enthusiastic at times. Once all was agreed all got booked in no time and followed up by a very helpful online itinerary with map, accomodations with day-by-day itinerary, and more. Anja sent through all of the vouchers for accommodation and activities separately by email. Payment was smooth and paid by Creditcard online.
Arrival;
We got picked up from the airport by the car rental company Namibia2Go, the driver was helpful and waited while we got cash out of the ATM and bought a SIM-card. Anja met us at the Namibia2Go site and gave us a pouch with all required documents, vouchers, roadmap etc. even 2 books for bird-spotting and animals to spot at Etosha which we've used while exploring Namibia.
During trip;
We've experienced no hiccups during our trip, all was booked correctly and had easy check-ins along the way. Whenever we had a question about an accomodation/activity we had a quick follow-up from Anja through Whatsapp. The accomodations booked were all excellent considering availability within the area.
We really enjoyed our trip and did not have to worry about accomodation/activities, would recommend booking through Great Explorations Namibia
